Ingredients
15ozchickpeas- strained and patted dry
3Tablespoonsolive oil
1/2teaspoononion powder
1/2teaspooncumin- or try another seasoning!
1/2teaspoonkosher salt
1/4teaspoonfreshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Strain and rinse the chickpeas and place on some paper towel. Place another paper towel on top and roll them around, getting them as dry as you can.
Heat a stock pot or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil, and when hot, add the chickpeas, making sure they are in a single layer. Stir frequently, covering with a splash guard (or foil) in between as these will POP as they cook. After about 10 minutes, these should be nicely browned and crisp.
Remove pan from heat and add the seasonings - the salt, pepper, onion powder, and cumin. You can also choose other seasonings to use in place of the onion powder and cumin.
Spoon the chickpeas into a bowl. Serve them over salads, in bowls, or for just snacking on.
Notes
These are best consumed immediately, or on the first day.
Don't cover leftovers tightly. Just place a paper towel loosely over the top.
